Samsung observes the specifications regarding strict quality and reliability of LCD. But in spite of that, it is inevitable that there might be a small number of bad pixels. A large number of bad pixels can cause problems in appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn’t affect the computer performance.

Therefore Samsung observes and manages the following dot principles:

-Bright dot : 2 or less

-Black dot : 4 or less

-Combination of Bright and Dark : 4 or less

Measuring the Remaining Battery Charge

You can view the battery charge status by completing the following procedures.

Confirming the battery charge in the Taskbar

Disconnect the AC adapter and move the mouse cursor over the battery icon in the system tray of the Taskbar to confirm the remaining battery charge.

Battery Usage Time Information

A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing a new battery.

When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life time.

Battery

Extending the Battery Usage Time

Decreasing the LCD Brightness

If you dim the screen brightness in the Easy Settings > Display > Screen Brightness, you can extend the battery use time.

Using the power management program

1	Click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >

•What is the Power-saving Effect?

This product displays the battery life in each power mode. The higher the power saving effect increases, the longer the graph bar is displayed.

•When Using Games or Multimedia

The system may not operate properly in maximum battery mode. It is recommended to connect the AC adapter to the system or to use the system in general mode.

•Usage Mode of Samsung Battery Manager

-The maximum battery mode optimizes the system operation speed to increase the battery run time, so the program execution time may get longer.

-If you change the power settings, the properties in Power Options window will also be changed.

Extending the Battery Life (Optional)

In the Easy Settings program, click System Controller > General and set the Battery Life Extender to ON or OFF.

This mode maintains 100% of the battery charge OFF when using the computer on AC power. In this case,

although the battery use time increases, the battery life is reduced.

This mode maintains 80% of the battery charge ON when using the computer on AC power. In this

case, although the battery use time decreases, the battery life is extended.

Alternatively, to extend the battery life

Press the F2 key when the Samsung logo appears in the booting sequence to enter the BIOS Setup, select Advanced > Battery Life Cycle Extension, and set it to Enable.

Then you can use the battery life cycle extension mode.
